This is a continuation of application Ser. No. 038,607, filed May 14, 1979, now abandoned, which was a continuation of Ser. No. 904,645, filed May 10, 1978, now abandoned.
1. Field of the Invention
This invention relates to a connector of the type comprising an insulating housing and a plurality of contact-carrying spring members. An active device substrate unit, positioned in the housing, is connected to the conductive paths on a PCB via the spring members.
2. Prior Art
Representative prior art includes U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,877,064 and 3,940,786, the latter being a CIP of the former. The teachings of both patents relate to surface to surface connectors for connecting active device substrates to a PCB. The connectors include a housing of insulating material having a central compartment. A number of contact-carrying conductive spring members are positioned about the perimeter of the compartment. The substrate is placed in the compartment with the contacts on the upper portion of the spring members contacting the conductive pads on the substrate. The contacts on the lower portion of the spring members contact the conductive paths on the PCB to complete the electrical path.
A relevant teaching is contained in U.S. Ser. No. 851,338, filed Nov. 14, 1977 and now abandoned.
The present invention provides an insulating housing containing a plurality of spring members which provide an electrical connection between an active device substrate unit and a PCB. The spring members have a buffer section which isolates forces exerted against one or the other contact.
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of the connector of the present invention and a active device substrate with a boat sink attached;
FIG. 1a is a cross-sectional view of one wall of the connector of FIG. 1;
FIGS. 2 and 3 are views of the spring member prior and after being positioned in the connector; and
FIGS. 4 and 5 illustrate different lower contact sections on the spring members of the present invention.
The active device substrate connector of the present invention is shown in FIG. 1 and is indicated generally by reference numeral 10. A unit consisting of an active device substrate and an attached heat sink is shown directly above connector 10 and is indicated generally by reference numeral 12. Unit 12 is shown primarily to familiarize the reader with the form or shape of a typical substrate accepted by connector 10. It is not a part of the invention disclosed herein. Connector 10 consists of a square frame 14, cover 16 and spring members 18.
Frame 14 has four vertical walls 20, each terminating in a corner post 22. A floor 24 is common to all walls. The floor and walls define a central, upwardly open compartment 26.
The exterior vertical surface of each wall has a step 28 immediately below the top surface 30 and which extends horizontally from post to post. A plurality of narrow cells 32 which extend into the walls open outwardly from the upwardly facing shoulder 34 of step 28 downwardly through the bottom surface 36 of the wall.
The structure of the interior vertical surface of a wall 20 is shown in FIG. 1a to which attention is now directed. Immediately below top surface 30 is an upwardly facing shoulder 38. Openings 40 leading into cells 32 are located along the shoulder as can be seen in FIG. 1. From shoulder 38 the surface drops straight down to a lower, second upwardly facing shoulder 42. Below this shoulder the surface drops to floor 24.
FIG. 1a also shows in profile the interior shape of a cell 32. The forward or inwardly wall 44 below opening 40 may be characterized as having a recess with a curved lower surface 46 that extends rearwardly or outwardly to form a projection 48. A second recess 50 is provided below and in part by the projection. Floor 51 forms the bottom surface of the cell. One side wall 52 of each cell has a cavity 54 in front of and just below projection 48. The cavity provides an inwardly facing shoulder 56. The outer edge of the two side walls defining the cells contain a horizontal slot 58. These slots may be seen clearly in FIG. 2 which also shows the configuration of a cell.
Corner posts 22, which are shown only in FIG. 1, provide proper stand-off for the connector with respect to the PCB and further provides the structure for hinging and latching cover 16. The two front posts have retaining latches 60. These latches, made from resilient material, have a pair of ears 62 which provide downwardly facing shoulders 64. The front of the ears are beveled so that the cover, in being closed onto frame 14, cams the latches out of the way. Once the cover is past, the latches rebound with the shoulders 64 on top of the cover holding it in place.
The corner posts at the rear of the frame carry hinges 66. These hinges are generally U-shaped with one end embedded or otherwise fixed in the post. The hinge allows cover 16 to be pivoted until it is parallel to the substrate.
The inside surfaces of three posts have cylindrical protuberances 68. The inside corner of the fourth post has a thruster clip 70 in its corner. This clip has a vertical arm (not shown) which biases the substrate against the other three corners. The cylindrical protuberances and thrust clip cooperate to align substrate unit 12 in the compartment.
Cover 16 has a center opening 72 with four hold down springs 74 symmetrically disposed about the opening. Each spring has a free end 76 which curves upwardly as shown. The cover further has a flap 78 depending from each except the back edge. These flaps are received in steps 28 when the cover is placed onto the frame.
Floor 24 of the frame may have a bolt 80 for attachment to a PCB.
The frame 14 is preferably molded from a plastic material marketed by General Electric Company under the tradename "VALOX". Other plastic material can also be used. Cover 16 is preferably made from high carbon steel and heat-treated to a spring temper.
Spring members 18 are shown in FIGS. 2 and 3. With specific attention being directed to FIG. 2, the spring structure will be described. Each spring, made preferably from berylium copper, has five definable sections: the upper contact section 82, the spring section 84, the retention and buffer section 86, the compliant section 88 and the lower contact section 90. The upper contact section 82 and the spring section 84 comprise the upper portion of spring member 18. The compliant section 88 and lower contact section 90 comprise the lower portion of spring member 18.
Upper contact section 82 consists of a horizontal arm 92 and nose 94. The top surface of the nose has a gold plating over a nickel plating to provide a highly conductive and corrosion resistant contact point.
Spring section 84 includes some of arm 92 and ends at the buffer and retention section 86. The section resembles an S with an upper loop 96 and lower loop 98. The spring section has a normal maximum deflection force of about 80 grams.
Retention and buffer section 86 consists of a horizontal bar 100. A lance 102 is struck out from the bar to point obliquely rearwardly or outwardly. A cross piece 104 is provided on the upper surface of bar 100 at its rearward end. This piece extends laterally from either side of the bar in the manner of a "T".
Compliant section 88 includes vertical arm 106 depending from the rearward end of bar 100 and a horizontal arm 108.
Lower contact section 90 provides the contact which engages a conductive pad on a PCB (not shown). The contact section shown on the spring member in FIG. 2 is referred to as a "surface to solder direct attach tail". The L-shaped structure provides a foot 110 which is soldered to the PCB pad. In this type structure the horizontal arm 108 of the compliant section has a dog leg or jog 112 so that foot 110 will be aligned directly under nose 94 on the upper contact section. Two other lower contact sections are shown in FIGS. 4 and 5 and are discussed below.
FIG. 3 is a side view showing a spring member 18 positioned in a cell 32. Nose 94, in the absence of a substrate unit 12, sticks up through opening 40 on the interior of frame wall 20. Arm 92 and loops 96 and 98 occupy most of cell space with loop 98 being nearest recess 44 and its curved lower surface 46. The forward end of horizontal bar 100 is received in the lower, second recess 50 with the free end of lance 102 sticking into cavity 54. Cross piece 104 is positioned in slots 58 located on both facing side walls. The lower contact section 90 is positioned below bottom surface 36 with the upper portion of vertical arm 106 located in the lowermost portion of the cell.
The spring member is retained in the cell by the combination of structures on the retention and buffer section. Forward or inwardly movement is prevented by the forward end of horizontal bar 100 being lodged in the second recess 50. Vertical movement of the bar is prevented by projection 48 overlying it. Rearward or outward movement is prevented by lance 102 abutting the forwardly or inwardly facing shoulder 56 in cavity 54. Upward movement of the bar of the spring member is prevented by cross piece 104 being in slot 58. Downward movement is prevented by the aforementioned slot and also by bar 100 resting on the horizontal floor 51 of cell 32. Lateral movement of the spring member except for compliant section 88 is prevented by the side walls defining the cell.
In that cross piece 104 extends outwardly away from the frame, it serves as a probe tab for test purposes.
The aforementioned other lower contact sections are shown in FIGS. 4 and 5. As the other sections of the spring member are identical with that shown in FIG. 2, they are not shown again except for compliant section 88. FIG. 4 shows a "surface to surface" lower contact section, indicated by reference numeral 190. This section includes a depending nose 192 which is identical to nose 94 in the upper contact section 82. The lower surface is also plated first with nickel and then gold. Lower contact section 190 makes a surface to surface, pressure contact with pad 114 on PCB 116. In a connector 10 having spring members with lower contact section 190, bolt 80 is used to secure the connector to the PCB.
FIG. 5 illustrates a lower contact section 290 referred to as a "solder tail". An elongated tail 292 extends through an aperture 118 in a PCB 116. Solder secures the tail in the aperture. With the tails being so secured, the connector 10 is fixed to the PCB without use of the bolt.
The "surface to solder direct attach" lower contact section 90 shown in FIG. 2 is secured to a pad on the PCB by solder.
In use, a substrate unit 12 is placed into compartment 26 with the substrate 118 (FIG. 1) resting on the four shoulders 38. The circuit traces (not shown) on the underside of the substrate contact the spring member's noses 94 located in openings 40. Cover 16 is now closed with heat sink 120 sticking up through opening 72. Upon latching the cover, the substrate is pushed down so that its traces make a pressure contact with the noses. The vertical pressure is absorbed by spring section 84. As a novel feature of the spring member, the vertical forces exerted by the substrate unit 12 being secured to the connector affects only the upper portion of the spring members, i.e., the upper contact section 82 and the spring section 84 since the retention section 86 is acting as a buffer. Thus, the design of the lower portion, i.e., the compliant section 88 and the lower contact section 90, is independent of the forces to be exerted against upper portion. Therefore, the upper and lower portions can be designed separately to handle specific force situations since the retention and buffer section acts to isolate the upper portion from the lower portion.
As is well known, a PCB is subject to flexing, bending and other stresses. Some of the stresses occur during handling and mounting. Other stresses are induced by environmental temperature changes. Still other stresses come about through thermal variations generated by the substrate unit. These stresses can and do reach levels where a solder joint breaks mechanically with either a increase in electrical resistance or a complete continuity break. In the "surface to surface" embodiment (lower contact section 190, FIG. 4) such stresses result in increased resistance across the contact points.
The aforementioned problem is eliminated or greatly alleviated by the compliant section 88 on the spring members. The compliant section allows some relative movement between the connector and the PCB so as to preserve the mechanical and electrical integrity of the electrical contact therebetween. The compliant section is able to flex or move in all three directions; i.e., along the X, Y or Z axes. Thus, any stress received by the PCB or any deflection, distortion, deformation, or movement in general between the PCB and the connector is absorbed by the compliant section with the lower contact section (90, 190 or 290) moving with the board and thus remaining static or stationary relative to the board. The actual contact point, being either pressure or solder, is either completely or for the most part, free of the stresses.
Connector 10 offers other advantages. The same frame 14 accepts spring members 18 regardless of the kind of lower contact section present. In the case of the "surface to surface" lower contact section, only bolt 80 needs to be added.
Spring members 18 may be stamped and formed from the same dies throughout most of the operation; only the lower contact section dies differ. Thus, just one stamping and forming line can produce spring members having all three kinds of lower contact sections.
Obvious modifications can be made to the frame particularly. For example, the material below slots 58 may be omitted as the primary function of the slots is to prevent upward movement. The omitted material would open up the slot width that receives the upper portion of vertical arm 106 and increase the compliancy of the compliant section.
The foregoing detailed description has been given for clearness of understanding only, and no unnecessary limitations should be understood therefrom, as some modifications will be obvious to those skilled in the art.

Besides being a major security embarrassment for BAA, yesterday's protest at Stansted was significant for two reasons: air passengers are now a legitimate target for protesters; and growing numbers of people are willing to risk arrest to hamper airport expansion.
Plane Stupid has evolved from a small group of radical activists into a disciplined platoon capable of infiltrating Britain's third-largest airport and shutting it down with nearly 60 volunteers.
Formed in 2005 by a loosely connected network of radical environmentalists, the group has crafted increasingly bold publicity stunts including the rooftop protest on the Houses of Parliament in February.
It has no central leadership and encourages people to make acts of protest in its name. But occasionally, Plane Stupid also organises major protests like the one at Stansted yesterday.
Familiar faces at those demonstrations include long-term activists such as Leo Murray, 32, and newer, younger recruits such as Olivia Chessell, 20. Mr Murray, a grandson of the late Lord Greenwood – a Wilson cabinet minister responsible for the first Bills regulating air and water pollution – organises protesters' annual Climate Camps.
Ms Chessell, meanwhile, is typical of the new generation of young, middle-class activists clamouring to be involved in direct action. Born in East Dulwich, London, she eschewed university to concentrate on youth work and protest.
Both were arrested yesterday and also took part in the Parliament rooftop protest. According to Plane Stupid organisers, the Stansted protest was predominantly made up of young first-timers, suggesting the group has footholds in university campuses.
The group's lack of hierarchy has not made it easier to infiltrate: last year Plane Stupid uncovered a mole from a "risk management" firm working for opponents within the aviation industry. Plane Stupid publicly exposed the apparent informer and said members had been feeding him false information for months.Reuse content

We played so well, I can't believe we lost, says baffled Pellegrini
Manchester City manager Manuel Pellegrini was baffled by his team's shock 3-2 defeat at Aston Villa.
Pellegrini was at a loss to explain how his team failed to hold on for three Barclays Premier League points after twice leading at Villa Park.
City dominated the first half and deservedly led through Yaya Toure's sixth goal of the season just before the interval.
Salute: Andreas Weimann celebrates after scoring the winner for Aston Villa against Manchester City
Even after Karim El Ahmadi equalised City seemed set for victory when Edin Dzeko headed in but Leandro Bacuna and Andreas Weimann struck in quick succession to turn the game around.
Pellegrini said: 'Of course it is disappointing because I think we played very well in this game.
'From the beginning we had possession of the ball, we had the chances and we didn't have any risk in our own goals.
'It is unbelievable we didn't win this match but football has these things. The team that deserves to doesn't always win.'
It was yet another frustrating away day for title hopefuls City after losing at Cardiff last month and a goalless draw at Stoke a fortnight ago.
It seemed City had found their feet after last week's stunning derby destruction of Manchester United but they clearly still have vulnerabilities.
Opener: Yaya Toure squeezed home the first goal for Manchester City as they took the lead at Villa Park
El Ahmadi was fortunate not to be flagged offside before the opening goal but the foul outside the area for Bacuna's free-kick strike was needlessly conceded.
Weimann's goal then came in frustrating circumstances as the Austrian ran unchecked onto a long kick from goalkeeper Brad Guzan.
Pellegrini said: 'I think the first goal was offside, the second goal was a free-kick and the third goal was unbelievable.
'Maybe drawing 2-2, at that moment, made the players go forward and we left a gap. They had the ball with the goalkeeper and then a chance to score in our goal.
'In five minutes we threw away all the work we did in the whole match.
'For the moment we haven't had a victory away.
'The other two games were very different, against Cardiff and Stoke.
'I thought the team played the way we need to play and the way I want to play here. I can't believe we didn't win.'
Unhappy: Samir Nasri tries to remonstrate with officials at half time but his held back by his team-mates
Come with me: Vincent Kompany leads Nasri away from the referee Michael Jones
Level: Karim El Ahmadi shoots past Joe Hart to equalise for Aston Villa
Pellegrini has no doubt City will recover to play a prominent role in the title race.
He said: 'We are not thinking about the title at the moment. We are thinking about winning the most amount of matches.
'In the Premier League, the difference (between teams) is very small.
'If we play the way we are playing I am absolutely sure we are going to be fighting for the league.'
Even though his team were outplayed for most of the first half, Villa boss Paul Lambert had no doubt they could fight back.
He said: 'I know they had a lot of possession but Guzan didn't really have a save, as such.
'They are one of the favourites to win the Premier League, and one of the teams that could win the Champions League.
'That shows the magnitude of this result. They might have rested a few for the Bayern game but, if you look at the side, they were a lot of top players.
'It is a big win, three points for us. I am delighted to win.'
Lambert, whose side survived a relegation scare last season, was unwilling to say whether it was his best result since taking charge at Villa last year.
He said: 'There have been (other) big games and big results, big moments at certain times.
'But this is a fabulous achievement because of the magnitude of their club and the players they have got.
'Where I will say it was very pleasing is that we had to come back twice.
'We have made a really good start in the league.
'We have played Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool, then Tottenham in the cup, and then Manchester City.
'It has been one hell of a start but we have come through it and are playing with a lot of confidence.'
Back in front: Edin Dzeko nodded Manchester City ahead for the second time
Level again: Manchester City keeper Joe Hart can only watch as Leandro Bacuna (not pictured) scores

Historical Traveler Reviews The Mark Addy Nellysford
Una visita è vale per tutta la vita
Io e mia moglie siamo stati per la prima volta al Mark Addy per il nostro primo anniversario di matrimonio ed � stato memorabile... purtroppo non in senso positivo. � triste vedere una casa cos� bella e i giardini attorno rovinati.
Una mancanza di ospitalit� permeava la locanda e non ci siamo sentiti mai i benvenuti. Anche se la camera era pulita, mancava il riscaldamento, soprattutto considerato che la temperatura fuori era al di sotto dei 2�C. La colazione era molto semplice e non cos� speciale come il sito web pubblicizzava e come ci hanno assicurato durante una conversazione telefonica per confermare la nostra prenotazione. Era piuttosto semplice invece, di quelle che avremmo trovato in qualsiasi bar della zona.
Per concludere direi che, anche se il tragitto in auto fino all'hotel � spettacolare in questa stagione e le viste sono meravigliose, alla fine avremmo preferito un altro bed and breakfast o una camera d'hotel a Charlottesville. Il problema del riscaldamento e la scarsa qualit� della colazione hanno reso questa struttura troppo costosa e non all'altezza del "Select Registry of Distinguished Inns of North America" cui � iscritta.
Unexpected vs. expected expectations!
~The food was absolutely wonderful... Rafi's cooking is incredible, and a leisurely, well presented meal was exactly what we asked for. Top Notch.
~The drive to the location is beautifully pastoral and lovely.
~The common areas of the house were stunning, especially the dining room and the parlor.
~The new Innkeepers are very earnest about making the Inn a success.
~"Family" feel, and you DO feel like you're staying with relatives....
which was a plus and a minus, and this is why:
The weekend we were there the owners were running everything; and they really need a little more experience in "hosting." There really is a fine art to waiting tables, and every area of a house that is open to guests should look more like a business than a messy desk and den. Also disagreements should probably be in private; I felt a little uncomfortable (yet charmed by their openess!) by some conversations between the hosts.
Oh, I wish I could say my stay was everything I saw in the pictures and read about in reviews. As I peeked into other rooms, many indeed looked like the photos you see; ours (Tiger Lily) did not. While there was a brand-new flat screen TV in our room the carpet was downright disgustingly dingy, the bed hard and uncomfortable, and the furnishings were tatty. The bathroom was not "spotless" as you'd expect in a luxury inn (hairs in the jacuzzi tub - ick!), especially when a "housekeeping tip envelope" was prominently displayed. There seemed to be alot of money spent on things like the aforementioned TV and solar lights in the yard when probably paint, landscaping, updated veranda seating, and replacement of dead houseplants might have been a better aesthetic investment. It was also difficult to enjoy the porch as the smell of either active cigarettes or the urn full of butts was impossible to avoid.
Having given that feedback, I will probably visit the Mark Addy again, as although I was disappointed in our room and the stated issues, the Inn had such a nice "feel" to it during our rainy-day stay. I'll book another room and look forward to revising this review after the new owners have a chance to work their magic!
Wonderful Hospitality
We stayed at the Mark Addy Inn for three days in April. Our room, Tiger Lily, was everything we could hope for. Beautiful king bed. Lots of windows for the sun to stream into. For my husband, a flat screen T.V. on the wall ingenuously hidden from sight by a bamboo shade. All the amenities were top notch. Fresh flowers in the room. Lovely jacuzzi in the bathroom. Not to forget the tasty Hershey kisses.
Our host and hostess, Raffi and Leslie, were very warm and eager to make your stay unforgettable. Breakfasts were great and served in a lovely breakfast room. We had dinner at the Inn. Chef Raffi did a magnificent job. The food and atmosphere were worth every penny for dinner.
They also have a great staff. Kevin and Mary were wonderful. But Mary will never make it as a weather forcaster. ( A private joke between her and my husband.) Both were very helpful during our stay.
I can't say enough about our adventure at the Mark Addy, except that it was top-notch and we will definitely be back to enjoy Leslie and Raffi's hospitality again.
Charming and Hospitable
What a perfectly charming place. Beautiful old structure, wonderful grounds, welcoming hosts, great food and a beautiful location. It proved to be the perfect home base for exploring the surrounding countryside and Charlottesville.
A delightful experience, as always!
My husband and I have been long time fans of the Mark-Addy Inn, and our latest trip was as phenomenal as usual! The innkeeper, John Maddox, and his staff go out of their way to make guests feel welcome; the setting is lovely, inside and out.
We've introduced many of our friends to the Inn, and they've all loved it as much as we do. We sincerely hope you'll find an opportunity to stay there.
Jacquie Barker
A fabulous experience, start to finish
Let me first say that my husband and I have found the innkeepers at the Mark Addy to be some of the warmest and most gracious and welcoming we've met. (Since we've stayed in 75 B&Bs, that's pretty good.) They are attentive and friendly and genuinely interested, and still know when to tactfully withdraw, which is a rare talent. (Well, that and slightly warped - we do enjoy a good sense of humor.)
Each room is decorated within a theme, with perfect colors and a well-developed sense of comfort. And breakfast - oh my, I even took *pictures* the breakfast was so beautifully presented!
In a beautiful dining room with a pastoral view and a lovely wall mural, fresh flowers, and food that just kept coming, one delicious morsel following another.
If you're looking for a way to step out of the humdrum and have a taste of the exquisite, the Mark Addy is the place to go. Top notch. Just go.
Casual elegance in an idyllic setting
My husband and I stayed at the Mark Addy half a dozen times in 2004-2005. The Inn was a very convenient place for us to stay when visiting our new home construction site in Wintergreen. From the moment I first arrived at the inn I knew we had discovered a real jewel in the Blue Ridge. The inn's setting is marvelous, with fantastic mountain views from the charming front porch and many of the rooms. The decor is delightful, somehow achieving a sense of cosiness in the midst of beautiful, priceless antiques. The breakfasts are outstanding, far superior to the fare at any other B&B where we have stayed. Most importantly, we were always treated with great hospitality and professionalism at the Mark Addy by the owner and his staff. I can honestly say that I recommend the Mark Addy without reservation.
Rather unsettling.
Unfortunately, we found our experience at the Mark Addy Inn to be unsettling. On one hand, the grounds and the room was very nice, and it was convenient for my girlfriend and I to stay there for our visit, but from the very first phone call to make reservations, we found the owners to be lacking in hospitality. We never felt quite welcome, and often received a much warmer reception and camaraderie from the guests than we did the Mark Addy owners, which was a little disturbing. We are still not exactly sure why this was, but we did attempt to show them every kindness and respect while we were there, so their behavior was quite mystifying to us.
It may be that we are misrepresenting the place, and we recognize that this may just be our experience. We arrived an hour or two early to the inn from a redeye flight, and were turned away despite our exhaustion, and at the end, the owners had believed we had forgotten to tip the maid (we hadn't, it was a simple breakdown in communication) and yelled at us - even after explaining the mistake, they still said they would fault us and charge us as well.
In short, while the Mark Addy was a convenient stay for us, in the end, we would have preferred another bed and breakfast or even a hotel room in Waynesboro or Charlottesville. As long as you do not cross the owners of Mark Addy, you shouldn't experience any problems and the view there is beautiful, but the undercurrent of anger and overt hostility from the owners has made it so we would not wish to stay there again if we had the choice.
The Perfect Weekend Get-Away
What a great spot this is! We stayed here after driving down skyline drive. This fabulous spot is located right at the gate to Wintergreen, but it is an upscale elegant Inn. Fabulously restored. Excellent service and close to everything you could possibly want in Charlottesville, staunton and Waynesboro. We golfed, rode horses and went wine-hopping. We will definitely be back for the fall foliage and ski season.
A Gem in the Mountains
We stayed here during the autumn and found this Inn to be quite romantic and charming. The Inn is decorated in beautiful French and English antiques. The Inn Keeper is quite knowledgable on local atractions, such as antiquing and local wineries. The rooms are beautiful and our bed was quite confortable. The food was excellent and served on china. I have heard this Inn is for sale so there will be knew management coming and there is no longer dinner being served, so this is dissapointing. We tried to go back this year but our favorite room was booked for months. We recommend the Mark Addy!

The Beautiful House on a Hill
... the Suggs, this morning and learned they are faring well. Please keep SC in your prayers.
Day 29 of 49 (Oct 6). It got cold last night! Temps dropped into the upper 40's. Our electric heater has a thermostat so we usually turn it on at night to keep the temperatures inside in the upper 60's, but that wasn't quite enough. This morning we had to turn on the propane furnace for a few minutes to warm it up a bit. ...

We met James, our neighbor in the tent next to us, and Shawn and Hayden from Maui across from ...

5.0 stars - SUCH A TREASURE
By Paul
In this day and age everything is the same. We're all doing the same monologues in front of the same casting directors. No matter how good of a job you do, these casting people are so pissed that they had to hear that Neil Simon monologue for the 35th time. That is why "WHITE KNIGHT BLACK NIGHT" is such a treasure. Catalano is new, fresh, and writes some damn good monologues. There is something is this book for everyone of all ages.

LA Journal: Golden Meadow net maker takes pride in his work
Published: Saturday, January 20, 2001 at 6:01 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, January 19, 2001 at 11:00 p.m.
Golden Meadow
Strains of country music issue from the radio in the Golden Meadow net shop where Lawrence Terrebonne's eyes and fingers have worked 48 years at what may be the world's second oldest profession. The net maker's fingers have the needle scars to prove it.
People who know Terrebonne call him "Chine," a patois corruption of "Chinese" that has been his moniker since birth. That's because his eyes appeared as those of an Asian child, he explained, rather than a son of Acadiana.
A lot has changed in the net business since Chine first got his start, at a time when the south Louisiana economy was about fishing and little else. For one thing, the material of choice is man-made nylon rather than cotton webbing. For another, there are changes in design mandated by laws of conservation rather than rules of commerce, though building in developments like turtle excluders, Chine says, doesn't add a lot to his work.
The one thing that has not changed in all those 48 years, however, is what happens when Chine, whose nets are sold from St. Bernard Parish to DelCambre, sees a shrimp boat slowly chugging across a lake's broad horizon or a narrow bayou bend.
He knows there is a good chance that the boat's broad trawls might be the product of his labor, and that the shrimp in the pot of a New Orleans restaurant or a New York silk stocking district refrigerator case started their journey because of the work done with his hands and his eyes - before the boat that caught them ever left port.
"It feels pretty good," he said.
